My Pardon, but I am new....

I have a Samsung Gravity Smart, and I have read up on almost all there is to know about rooting, unfortunately my phone is so new or unpopular as the case may be that I cannot find any how tos for this particular phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That would be wise. I am not the only one who has successfully done it. Use this thread [APP]SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (Finally fixed!) - xda-developers and this youtube video ‪How to Root the Samsung Gravity Smart!‬‏ - YouTube how to root a Samsung Gravity Smart. Both are very helpful and remember to give credit to the awesome people that did all this.

Thinking

I was wondering if it is possible or advisable to root, then uninstall tetris, uno, aim, allshare, messaging, bejeweled, files, and photobucket, glympse. Then to create a nand backup and unroot my phone. The only reason I wanted to root it in the first place was to get rid of some of the useless things taking up space.


I was also wondering if anyone had luck with removing google cloud was that able to be uninstalled without too much fuss and group messaging?

Taking a

Any thoughts would be exceedingly helpful.

Well, nand backups are always advisable

Keeping a phone rooted has no ill effects on the phone. And it's more convienant if you decide to install some apps in the future that require root access.

As with uninstalling apps, be careful about uninstalling system apps. For example, your stock messaging app. Sure, there are messaging apps like Handcent, GoSms, that certainly have more options than the stock app, but, they sometimes rely on the stock app to function. If you look at the website for Handcent, they will caution you NOT to remove the system sms app, or Hancent will not function. You can run both, just turn off the system sms's notifications, and delete the icon.

Hope this helped!
